I tried to define an ApplyButton class in following code:
package X;
import awt.*;
import browser.*;
class X extends Object {
public X() {
new ApplyButton(this);
}
}
class ApplyButton extends Button {
private X x;
public ApplyButton(X x) {
super(null,null,(Window)null);
}
}
I get the compiler error:
"Ambiguous class: browser.ApplyButton and X.ApplyButton"
If I take the package statement out I get the compiler errors:
"Invalid method declaration, return type required"
and
"Can't access class ApplyButton. Only public classes and interfaces in other packages can be accessed"
If browser.ApplyButton is not public why should the importing
browser.* cause a name conflict?
